No. 3D printing can be done using a wide variety of materials.
3D printing and additive manufacturing are synonyms for the same process. Both terms reference the process of building parts by joining material layer by layer from a CAD file.
3D printing is great for printing parts with intricate designs and complexity.
There are 4 main types of 3D printing technologies are:
